Art Lebedev Mini Six and Optimus Popularis launching at last

Chris Burns, Jan 17th 2012 Discuss [0]

The relatively short history of the Art Lebedev line of customizable keyboards is a tragic one when you consider how much we've wanted to get our hands on every single one of these OLED screen per-key boards and their subsequent delays, but now we're really getting down to business here in 2012 with not only the Mini Three and the Aux, but the Mini Six and the long-awaited Optimus Popularis as well. The great thing about these boards of keys is that not only are they customizable in their functions, they are each of them their own OLED display*, this allowing you to show yourself whatever you like to tap. While the original Optimux Maximus has been out for some time (2007), we've been waiting for the full expansion for what seems like an eternity. Read The Full Story

Paul Fang, Dec 6th 2011 Discuss [1]

We haven't heard much from Art Lebedev's design studio since, well, the update on the Optimus Polaris last summer. But the Russia design company know for its innovative usage of LCDs on high-end keyboards has announced today that they're taking pre-orders for both its Optimus Popularis and Optimus mini six keyboards, the former priced at 31,500P, or approximately $1086 USD, and the latter at 10,900P, or around $376 USD. That's the hefty price you pay for a sleek Art Levedev piece, indeed. Read The Full Story

Optimus Mini Six hits production; Popularis delayed (again)

Chris Davies, Jun 29th 2011 Discuss [0]

Art Lebedev's Optimus Project studios promised that the Mini Six companion keyboard - a compact accessory with six buttons each integrating a user-customizable display - would be here later on in 2011, and now the company has confirmed that it's in the early production stage. In effect a doubled version of the Mini Three, the Mini Six does differ in that it uses new, more compact LCD displays for its keys. Read The Full Story

Optimus Popularis delayed; Mini Six companion ‘board due this year

Chris Davies, Jan 24th 2011 Discuss [2]

It's been a while since we've marvelled at the display-keys from Russian keyboard specialists Optimus, but the company is keen to remind us that it's only been delayed, not undone, by the recent economic unpleasantness. The Optimus Popularis - a more "affordable" version of the Maximus keyboard - has supposedly been pushed back until later in 2011, and before then the company will release a smaller version called the Optimus Mini Six.

Microsoft Adaptive Keyboard Concept Looks Amazing, Won’t be a Real Product

Evan Selleck, Aug 12th 2010 Discuss [0]

Over the course of the last few months, it's become pretty relevant that Microsoft makes cool concepts, but that tends to be as far as it goes. It happened with the Courier, and now it's happening with this amazing looking Adaptive Keyboard. It was shown off at this year's UIST Student Innovation Contest, and it has us wishing more and more that every concept became a reality. Read The Full Story

Optimus Popularis Images Make an Appearance Online

Evan Selleck, Jun 29th 2010 Discuss [1]

We've been covering the Optimus Popularis for what seems like forever, but there's a good reason for that. Even before it got delayed, and ultimately changed, it was a great keyboard. And now that it has been altered, slimmed down, and the keys made to work a bit more adeptly with a user's hands, we can safely say that it's going to be a great keyboard. And now that we get to see the first images of the keyboard, and not in a drawn-up fashion, we're even more excited. Read The Full Story

The Daily Slash: June 24th 2010

Evan Selleck, Jun 24th 2010 Discuss [0]

We're at the tail-end of the week, and we're not going to lie: we can feel it. All the way to our bones. If you're getting paid this Friday, hopefully you've already decided on something to buy yourself -- gotta spend that earned money, right? Or, maybe you've already waited in line for the thing you wanted to get yourself? That's probably the case. But, moving away from the Apple-phone for a short time, let's take a look at The Best of R3 Media. First up, we've got a software update for the EVO 4G coming soon, an updated keyboard that we want, and some wireless syncing for BlackBerrys. And then, in the Dredge 'Net, Hulu's still being passed around, RIM does pretty well for itself, and head to a Microsoft Store to play some Kinect. Read The Full Story

Optimus Popularis keyboard slims while key-displays grow

Chris Davies, Jun 24th 2010 Discuss [1]

We've been following Art Lebedev's Popularis keyboard project since the first mutterings late last year, and from the scant details we've seen it looks like the company has certainly learnt its lessons from the original Optimus Maximus. A new image released today shows the comparative key display sizes of the two 'boards: despite being smaller and slimmer than its predecessor, the Popularis will have better sized-keys with bigger, higher-resolution displays.

Optimus Popularis: thinner, faster & simpler than Maximus

Chris Davies, Jun 7th 2010 Discuss [0]

Art Lebedev Studios are slowly dripping out details on their second-generation keyboard, the Optimus Popularis, and they're certainly hitting the keywords we geeks love to hear. The keyboard - which will have displays for keys - will be thinner, faster and simpler for less money than its Maximus predecessor, though considering that costs around $1,600 "less" is a relative term.

Optimus Popularis resurrected; due 2011

Chris Davies, May 13th 2010 Discuss [0]

After months of silence, Art Lebedev Studios have poked their head above the parapet to announce that they're still working on the Optimus Popularis keyboard we last saw renders of in May 2008. Unlike the Optimus Maximus, the Popularis won't use OLED for its display-bearing keys. Read The Full Story

Art. Lebedev Segmentus clock is digital and has hands

Shane McGlaun, Mar 5th 2010 Discuss [0]

In most geek circles the Art. Lebedev Studio is still mostly known for its cool Optimus Maximus keyboard with the OLED key tops. The design studio appears to have a fascination with ancient Rome since most of its product names sound like gladiators to me. Such is the case with the latest concept from the company called the Segmentus, which sounds like something a gladiator slave would be tortured with if they failed to honor the ludus where they train.

Transparentius road view system by Art Lebedev – a lifesaver concept?

Paul Fang, Dec 23rd 2009 Discuss [3]

Renowned for innovative and out-of-this-world design behind products in the vein of the Optimus Maximus OLED-based keyboard, design house Art Lebedev Studio has come up with a new road safety concept dubbed the Transparentius. How does it work? It’s implemented by essentially delivering and projecting images from a video signal taken from the camera system in the front of a truck to the back door panels. Read The Full Story
